Topic: 1000pts CJ Harlequins

[2quiet]

Well I'd love to collect a Harlequin (proper Harlequin) army. The CJ list is obviously unique though, so I'd really like some help with this list, thanks:

H.Q.

Shadowseer- D-field, Riveblade, Shuriken Pistol (with Bio-explosive amo),
                   tanglefoot + hallucinogen grenades = 122pts


Elites.

Solitaire- Kiss, Plasma Pistol, D-field, Powerblades, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
            grenades = 161pts


Troupes.

Harlequins (5)- Kiss, Power Weapon, 2x fusions, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
                     grenades = 179pts

Harlequins (6)- Kiss, Power Weapon, 2x fusions, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
                     grenades, Master w. Riveblades = 240pts


Fast Attack.

Jetbikes (4)- 2x Power Weapons, Shurriken pistols, 2x Shurriken Cannons,
                  Master w. Riveblades =232pts


Heavy Support.

Venom- Holo-fields = 65pts



Well, the squad of six and the solitaire go in the Venom (is this allowed?) and the others foot it. Seems a bit weird to me, but its midnight so I'm quite confused at the moment, lol. Well thanks for all the help anyone can give me.

I like it. A few minor points though.

Shadowseer- D-field, Riveblade, Shuriken Pistol (with Bio-explosive amo),
                   tanglefoot + hallucinogen grenades = 122pts
Is he on the Venom? If not - drop the ammo.


Elites.

Solitaire- Kiss, Plasma Pistol, D-field, Powerblades, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
            grenades = 161pts
I am guess he is not on the Venom. Drop the Plasmapistol for a shuriken pistol and get plasma grenades.


Troupes.

Harlequins (5)- Kiss, Power Weapon, 2x fusions, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
                     grenades = 179pts

Harlequins (6)- Kiss, Power Weapon, 2x fusions, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
                     grenades, Master w. Riveblades = 240pts
Whichever group is on foot should drop their fusionpistol. I am not too sure on a Leader at these low points, but sure, if you want to. Get plasmagreandes over tanglefoot though. In 4th Ed you don't need them.


Fast Attack.

Jetbikes (4)- 2x Power Weapons, Shurriken pistols, 2x Shurriken Cannons,
                  Master w. Riveblades =232pts
Very pricey. I would drop the Leader for another bike and exchange cannons for Fusionguns.


Heavy Support.

Venom- Holo-fields = 65pts
   Get fusiongun for this one as well.

Basically, whatever runs need to FoF, and you are then paying for shooting you won't use. And you have the speed on the bikes and venom to use a Fusiongun, so use them.

Thanks Rasmus. One thing though...

Solitaire- Kiss, Plasma Pistol, D-field, Powerblades, tanglefoot + hallucinogen
            grenades = 161pts
I am guess he is not on the Venom. Drop the Plasmapistol for a shuriken pistol and get plasma grenades

Actually, I did intend this guy to ride Venom, but only if he could do so along with one of the troupes (the rules indicated to me that he could- he's an IC and the wording on the Venom entry sounded as though he was not joining the unit, just travelling with it)
I figgured that the Shadowseer could keep the other troupe safer as it approached (Veil of Tears), so the other squad was in need of a faster way to get to the enemy (as well as the solitaire).

Is there a problem with this idea?

Thanks again.

There is some debate over this, but if you can get your opponent to understand that it is legal then sure, go ahead. I would still not get the pistol for him though. Personally, I think he might get one shot off, and then get into combat. That is where he excels, and that is yet another instance where the plasma pisol is just a waste of points.

I think this is a good start of an army. Let us know how it goes in battle with it.
